Follow The Money | April 30, 2026 | Hour 2

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive into a high-stakes sports betting analysis across NBA, NHL, and the upcoming Kentucky Derby. The discussion kicks off with a deep dive into the Rockets-Lakers playoff series, where the hosts debate the implications of Houston forcing a Game 7 and the potential impact of 'The Extender,' Scott Foster, on series length. They then shift to the Celtics' playoff struggles, with a passionate rant from Moss about Boston’s overreliance on three-point shooting and lack of offensive diversity, despite their success when the shots fall. The NHL segment highlights the volatility of futures markets, with Chris Macero sharing his massive, high-odds bets on the Bruins, Flyers, and Ducks—each tied to dramatic late-season swings. Macero also breaks down the Derby, advocating for a strategic Oaks Derby double using under-the-radar horses like Irad Ortiz’s mount and cautioning against favorites like Renegade and Further Adieu due to poor post positions and excessive early speed. The episode closes with Macero’s bold $20,000 bet on the Marlins to win the most games in May, leveraging their favorable schedule and low odds.
